Who We Are

At BoomPop, we believe in the magic of bringing people together. Since 2020, we've been transforming the way people gather, making it easier, more engaging, and truly unforgettable. We combine a top-notch event planning team with cutting-edge AI technology to make planning events as easy as shopping online.

We've had the pleasure of organizing exceptional events for over 6,000 clients, including Google, Nike, and Accenture, bringing together more than 300,000 attendees. And we're just getting started.

We have raised over $20M from top-tier investors including Atomic, ACME Capital, and Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod).

Why Join Us?

The world of work is changing, and BoomPop is leading the charge. With remote work on the rise, companies like Airbnb, Salesforce, and Shopify are embracing a new mantra: "Offsites are the new office."

The group travel and events industry is booming, and we're at the heart of it. Businesses are shifting their budgets from traditional office spaces to in-person experiences. Group travel, which was already a massive part of the $900 billion corporate travel industry, is growing even faster now.

Join us and be part of a world-class team that's redefining the future of travel and events. You'll find endless opportunities for growth, the chance to work with top-tier clients, and the thrill of making a real impact on the world.

About The Role

As our first in-house Event Sourcing Manager at BoomPop, your mission is to stand up version 2.0 of our sourcing team. You (and ultimately your team) will play the critical role of helping our clients land the perfect venue/location/hotel for their event. This means you'll anticipate, support, and analyze the sourcing needs of our clients and event planners with exceptional customer service, unwavering adaptability to changing needs, and a strong focus on reducing time-to-source and sourcing accuracy. You will also play a crucial role in helping to inform product development decisions and contributing to the overall growth and success of the company. This role sits at a critical nexus point between sales and our event agency.

Top 3 Priorities

• Ability to Negotiate competitive hotel deals that include tailored add-ons and concessions aligned with the client's preferences and overall event vision.
• Understand holistic client needs, maintain clear communication, and identify venues and vendors that fit the event brief - aided by a comprehensive background knowledge of Hotels across all brands/star levels in the region of expertise (or even good to generalize all US for now).
• Provide cross-functional sourcing support across the Event team, rigorously prioritizing the highest impact areas among other competing priorities.
  
  

What You'll Do

• Own the hotel sourcing process from client kickoff, to RFPs, through signed contracts, including negotiating contract terms and clauses
• Partner with event planners on sourcing needs for clients
• Work with supply partners to ensure RFP accuracy to reduce sourcing errors, and reduce the overall time it takes us to complete the sourcing product platform-wide as a first issue priority
• Regularly review the sourcing funnel and analyze needs, opportunities, and potential blockers
• Demonstrate exceptional client obsession by consistently meeting or exceeding client expectations
• Adapt to changing client requests with a positive attitude and a focus on finding solutions
• Own process improvement and documentation for best practices to ensure the team is set up for success
• Establish an ongoing feedback loop with the partnerships team on hotel performance
  
  

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in end-to-end event management with a focus on sourcing, vendor management/coordination, planning, execution, and budget management
• 3-5 years of experience in hotels/hospitality required
• Exceptional communication and negotiation skills
• Strong adaptability, flexibility, and problem-solving skills
• Strong sense of urgency and the ability to rigorously prioritize tasks in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent project management skills and experience managing a high volume of tasks
• Strong executive presence and ability to present information to a variety of senior leaders
• Proven ability to be creative and innovative in planning in-person events
  
  

Benefits & Perks

• Competitive salary + equity, with tons of room for career growth
• Company sponsored 401(k)
• Generous PTO
• Paid parental leave
• Flexibility to work from anywhere
• Amazing team offsites + events every quarter
• World-class medical, vision, and dental plans with 100% employee contributions covered + 80% dependent contributions covered
• $50/month phone stipend
  
  

Occasional Travel: Connecting is in our DNA, please note that we anticipate roughly 3-4 nights of travel per quarter for this role.

Total Compensation Package; Including Benefits and Stock:

• Base: $88,000 - $105,000 a year; Depending on Experience and Qualifications
• Medical, vision, dental, life: $10,000 - $16,000 a year; Depending on Individual or Family Plan
• Equity: Our vision is to take BoomPop to the moon; Total Estimated Value for this Role is $50,000+
